too long

She is alive!!!
My best friends say I am good with plans. And lists. I guess I would agree with that. So, in an effort to get back to a lot of things, I have a plan to get back to myself.
Step One: Take a walk everyday. Okay, this may not seem very important but it is. Especially since I feel I have been gaining weight. Getting out for a walk everyday will help me get exercise as well as get me out to clear my head. Sometimes if you don't force a change, things get stagnant. And it's hard to keep a creative atmosphere when you are constantly sitting there saying "okay ideas, any time now..." So, getting a break is a wonderful thing.
Step Two: Scheduling. As good as I can be with plans and lists, the schedule is still my nemesis. But if I am going to be successful, I will need to begin scheduling everything. But, the first step in scheduling is to write down how much time I spend on things a day. This way I can attempt to fit everything in from cleaning to writing to making time with the hubby to exercise to just having me time.
Step Three.: Surf... I need to be out more, even if it's trolling around other websites and author loops and blogs, etc, I need to get back out there and build my reputation back up.
Step Four: Okay...I haven't quite gotten that far. But it's a wonderful beginning to my list.
Most importantly is to maintain things. I have no problems beginning things or working on it for a little while. My problem comes in when it's time for me t continue. There's a small voice inside my head that says "you know this isn't working right?" So it becomes very easy for me to just slack off for this reason or that. Then the next thing I know, it's been weeks or months since I posted and boom, the same little voice tells me that I shouldn't worry about doing so now because, really, what's the point?
It's the same voice that talks me out of going for a walk everyday. It's the voice I need to tune out.
One of my girlfriends and I went for a walk today. We decided to take advantage of our technology and walk together. How does this tie in? Well, it's the same thing that I have to do with other things. I need to just stop creating excuses and start getting out there again. Even if just for my own sanity.
